i was chatting today with a man whose wife works for The Villages. They have been here since 2000 or so. He said that The Villages already has permits or plans to develop south of Rte 44, east of 468. If you look at a map there is a lot of empty space down there similar to the 466A Fruitland Park development. He said they would build all the way to the Florida Turnpike. This information is all heresay so it may not be accurate, but I thought I would post it in case anyone might have more to add. It sure looks like a big piece of land with no development on it at the present. I think this was discussed a while back, but I was surprised that this man seemed to think it was a done deal with permits already completed.

As the northern cities continue to riot loot and burn, look for the developers to continue to build.

I always look forward to this second and third hand information.

We moved here in 2000. We went to one of the VHA meetings way back then. They had a map showing lots of property beyond 44 that belongs to the Villages.

I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg - lots more building to be done!

Good One !

Here's another rumor I "heard". The Villages sold that land to Celebration with the understanding that they would not build until The Villages was done building below 466a. Since Celebration is not a 55 plus community that will flood Brownwood with more young people. So I heard.

[villagetinker]

If they keep going south, Brownwood will become the new center of the villages!!! Can you imagine that?

Need to go to The Sumter County Property Appraiser website and search the GIS
Map.. It will show you who owns what land. The only place where The Villages or its sub company Mid-Florida Properties owns land is by the Turnpike for the interchange.

I have been involved with them for a long time,,, Never believe it till you see it.

The Village People (you know the ones I mean) are smart people -- really smart people. They know how to buy land in names we would never be able to guess. People had no idea what Disney was purchasing, and people will have no idea about what TV owns or is purchasing until they want you to know.

Assuming one knows all of TV's "sub-company names"

I am thinking that my next house will be in the Village of Lake Okeechobee - shouldn't be long, a couple of years at most ;-)

Coming up on Coleman prison. Interesting neighbors.

One way to end the speculation.

ID the best source of knowledge in the "M family". Separate and get hold of that member of "The Family". Take away to a secluded place; with the TV snowbirds gone there must be one now. A bit of sodium pentothal. Allow the drug to work. Have a couple well-known ToTV members have their way asking detailed questions regarding Buildout and if not, where all the building and new Village Centers will be built. And any other matters we want to know like - really, why has a Costco NOT come to TV yet... Other ToTVrs may offer other topics while he's 'under'.
Release the M family member and a blast from the Men In Black memory reliever. Post all results on ToTV, then prepare to shut it down permanently, as we will know it all. Nothing to talk about except poop.
